So today, the radiator fan has started spinning faster with the revs. No overheating or warning lights at all, anyone have any idea what it could be?

Your fan's viscous clutch has started to fail

Replace it with a Behr one only; source from C3BMW: https://www.c3bmw.co.uk/3-series/c/31?dynNav=Serie...

If you're unsure which you need; contact them, they know what they're doing thumbup
